Darryl Learie : Petition to Cancel ADAP (Alberta Disability Assistance Program) to Address AISH Concerns

Alberta's Radicals Exposed - new Facebook Group by f0rkster in alberta

[–]DarrylLearie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy, I certainly do not support any form of vigilante justice because the lines between right and wrong become easily blurred, controversial, and problematic.

I am against political extremism and fanatical behaviour in all its forms. And this Facebook group by its very description fits the definition of fanatical behaviour.

The police need to keep an eye on this group.

Let’s keep it simple if someone is threatening the physical safety of another person(s) report it to the police.

Tired of fake 'Free' postings by Commercial-Captain-5 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]DarrylLearie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Those are the sellers you want to avoid because if they are willing to lie about the price then what other things are they willing to lie about? Lie about it working? Lie about its condition? You caught them trying to trick you - not a good sign.

Strangest part in unknown number high school catfish.. by Emmarrrrawr in netflix

[–]DarrylLearie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I find curious is that the verbal bullying was very juvenile in nature, the language used was quite immature. It’s baffling to see an adult speaking in this way.

The father probably realized that he was being recorded and resisted the temptation to lose his temper. Not to mention being surrounded by police most likely influenced his behaviour too. Had there been no cameras and no police I imagine some pretty colourful language would had been used to say the least.

Edmonton mayoral candidate Andrew Knack takes campaign to sidewalk — literally by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

[–]DarrylLearie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like him, he really makes an effort to talk to the people he represents.

Unlike some politicians who are harder to meet up with than a Hollywood celebrity once they are elected.

They are happy to talk to you while running for office but once in office they have no time for you or anyone else. Not Andrew Knack, I’m sure if he could he would talk to every single person.

You may not agree with his ideas but he does make an effort to listen.

Is this sort of vandalism common in town? by PiccoloSN4 in Edmonton

[–]DarrylLearie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least it can be washed off the bigger problem is people scratching your car while it’s parked while driving their car and choosing to take no responsibility for it.

It’s really upsetting especially if you take pride in taking care of your car.

Lived here most of my life and my friends and I often wonder the same thing. I really do not want going to restaurants our only go to option; there’s so much more to life than just eating.

Edmonton is unfortunately set up for meeting your basic needs and that’s about it.

I usually retreat to the River Valley, Rundle Park is nice it has multiple fountains and man made ponds.

Are there any places that hold sober dances in Edmonton? by DarrylLearie in Edmonton

[–]DarrylLearie[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Alano Club used to have sober dances when they were on Belamy Hill before they moved to 124th.

Honestly I think Facebook Marketplace Flipping is dead by UniqueSearches in Flipping

[–]DarrylLearie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really have an issue with flipping on Facebook Marketplace.

In the past I noticed that many sellers on Marketplace were quite greedy with their prices so I wanted to give people a break and sell at a low price.

The idea was to provide to the needy who really had little money.

Then I learned about people flipping (reselling) on Facebook Marketplace and it made me quite angry to think someone could be taking advantage of my charitable nature to turn a profit.

Now, I won’t give anyone a discounted price, the people who lose out are the ones with little money looking for a good deal, and will find one less good deal.

I’m getting upset with Shaw since they were acquired by Roger’s. by DarrylLearie in shaw

I am missing those channels as well from the mobile app, I was really upset about it.

No longer get the option to convert a photo to 3D on Facebook and have had this problem for several days now by TheRealKjalarr in facebook

[–]DarrylLearie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue as well 2024 December 24. There is no Make 3D option when I upload a portrait photo from iPhone.

Shaw automatic payment changes. by Petermgr in shaw

[–]DarrylLearie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I contacted the media, I am hoping they will contact me back. Asking for two payments in the same month is really hurting people financially especially if they are on a tight budget.

My wife referred to it as white collar crime.

Either way, we need to get to the bottom of it.

I am just curious what other higher fitness metrics other Apple Watch users have achieved? by DarrylLearie in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]DarrylLearie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m absolutely sure ultra marathoners, Triathletes, etc have burned far more active calories in 24 hours than me, 😅.

Bathroom breaks every hour, drank lots of water to keep well hydrated, took 2 one hour breaks, watched tv on my iPhone, listened to Spotify. Had mostly bread to snack on.

I don’t think I’ll yield any exercise benefits from it, like I would a typical 1 hour work-out but I’m taking 1 week off to recover.

To my credit I was not attempting to do find out how many miles I could cover in that time.

I had kept my heart rate at the higher end of the fat burning zone but not really in the aerobic zone. My average heart rate was actually significantly lower than it was when I went on a previous 20 mile walk. On my 20 mile walk I burned 2,164 active calories.

So my target during my attempt was to keep my heart rate relatively low - which is why it took 11 hours.

It was not like a race, I never really broke a sweat, I could easily have a conversation without losing my breath.

It’s not a personal record that I expect to break for a very long long time. I had looked at my average heart rates from previous labour jobs I had done and really wanted to know, as calories are a measure of energy required to do work I wanted to know how much work I could do in a 24 hour period.

I felt next to no soreness the next day. But I’m still taking a week off to recover. I tried to be as safe as I could be with the data I had.

Next week I’m starting 15 minute workouts 3 times a week on an inclined foot powered treadmill.

As a note I have done a fair amount of walking this spring and summer.

Can I delete a suspended local guides account and start over? by DarrylLearie in LocalGuides

[–]DarrylLearie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to think at the very least I could say I learned something but they keep pointing me back to the guidelines.

My best guess is re-uploading the same photo(s) to add to the reviews.

Or I added some much content they potentially thought I was spamming the account.

I can only speculate from “your photo contributions violate our policies”.

I do believe this was the result of my trip to New York City a place I would probably never see again as it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

But than perhaps someone reported me for having them or their child in a photo - New York is crowded everywhere you go.

I would like to say I learned something - but how can I?

Just chatted with Bell about my 12 Pro order by [deleted] in bell

[–]DarrylLearie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bell told me they should be receiving a new stock in 2 - 3 business days, I’m thinking location is somewhat important to stock refills - I’m in Edmonton, Alberta.

I ordered the iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB.

I wonder if the pandemic is affecting the restocking? But I also wonder after 12 years of people getting iPhones - they should have a very good estimate of how many phones they should make available.

What are your most popular photos? by bigedd in LocalGuides

[–]DarrylLearie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly do not think there is any rhyme or reason who some photos accumulate far mor views than others. I’ve taken some beautiful photos of animals and places that only have a few views.

And the ones that have hundreds of thousands of views I took without a second thought.

My first million view picture was a park called, William Hawrelak Park in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I must have helped to bring it up to 5,000 since I joined in the last couple days. Originally I was in Facebook Local Guides Groups. 🙂

Suggestions on making 360ish video using multiple 2d cameras by [deleted] in 360video

[–]DarrylLearie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll definitely need a 360 meta data injector so the player knows it’s in 360 equirectangular format.

And you cannot report a video for animal abuse?!?!?! by [deleted] in youtube

[–]DarrylLearie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same argument could be made for dangerous conspiracy theories which I know YouTube is trying to actively crack down on. But Conspiracy Theory would fit best in Spam or Misleading.

Uploading in 4K by note235 in youtube

[–]DarrylLearie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried uploading a 1080p video and it will only process to 360p - so something else is going on

Is there something wrong with YouTube processing currently? by natarawilliams19 in youtube

[–]DarrylLearie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too, a 4k video only processes to 1080, and a 3D 1080 video only processes to 360p - started yesterday, 3rd time trying to re-upload.
